Consolidation and Presentation
Consolidation and Presentation
Tenneco Inc. ("Tenneco" or "the Company") is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of clean air and ride performance products and systems for light vehicle, commercial truck and off-highway applications. We also engineer, manufacture, market and distribute leading brand name products to a diversified and global aftermarket customer base. Unless the context indicates otherwise, references herein to and words such as "we," "us," or "our" include the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries.
As you read the accompanying financial statements you should also read our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on February 28, 2018 (the "2017 Form 10-K"). A Form 8-K was also filed with the SEC on September 28, 2018 to recast certain portions of the 2017 Form 10-K to retrospectively reflect the effect of the Company's change in reporting segments that took effect in the first quarter of 2018, and to recast certain financial information and related disclosures for accounting standards adopted in 2018, for which retrospective application was required.
In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s results of operations, comprehensive income, financial position, cash flows, and changes in shareholders’ equity for the periods indicated. We have prepared the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) for annual financial statements.
Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all majority-owned subsidiaries. We have eliminated all intercompany transactions.
Segment Information
In the first quarter of 2018, the Company’s reportable segments were revised, and now consist of the following three segments: Clean Air, Ride Performance and Aftermarket. See Note 13, Segment Information for further information.

Prepayments and other included $156 million and $117 million at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, for in-process tools and dies that we are building for our original equipment customers.
